Marica,
Well, I did not win the battle with my Cigna Insurance. The medical paid to have the 16 rear teeth pulled in the opertaing room, but whwne it came to paying for the bridges and caps I needed to be able to eat agin, they flatly refused, despite a zillion letters of medical necessity and said it was the dental insurance that covered it(max $1850 a year). This was a $15000 bill.

Others have managed to get the replacement dental work paid. I think it depends on the insurance company and how hard you fight. Good luck to you on this.

Take care,
Eileen

Marica, We have federal BC and BS and they almost pay nothing towards dental regardless of situation. I think we get a small portion of our 6 month check ups and cleanings paid. I am having 6 upper front teeth crowned come January, fortunately, my husband has a flex plan at work for dental, where he can request the money up front with the dental bill and repay in installments out of his pay check for the rest of the year. Good Luck!!! Love, Carol
